About this place
At Chizuka, part of the pleasure is choosing a dish from the obanzai—home-style small plates—lined up along the counter. There is simmered Chinese cabbage and “elevator”, fried tofu served with grated daikon, among other straightforward dishes that go well with beer. Some diners have mentioned seasonal and local items on the menu, so it may be worth choosing another plate to suit what is on offer.
The à la carte selection ranges from fish and meat to fried dishes. One diner particularly enjoyed the deep-fried octopus, while another recommended agedashi tofu. Yakisoba and nyumen (wheat noodles in broth) are also on the menu, offering options whether you want a few snacks to share or something to finish a meal. One diner mentioned having an onigiri at the end, too—a simple way to round things off after sampling a few dishes.
The restaurant has counter seating and a raised tatami room, making it an option for both solo meals and group dinners. Payment is cash only, so bear that in mind when settling the bill.
